After a few days have passed, the purchase of Activision Blizzard by Xbox continues to generate questions and to talk about. One of the hottest topics so far has been about the alleged exclusivity of Call of Duty on Xbox, which would make perfect sense after said acquisition. As many of you know, a few days ago Sony asked Microsoft to respect the agreements and ensure that Activision games remain cross-platform, something that Microsoft itself has already ensured, at least until these agreements end.
Without a doubt, we all want to know what will happen to Call of Duty and other great franchises like Spyro or Crash Bandicoot, just as we eagerly await the arrival of the entire catalog of Activision Blizzard games to Xbox Game Passamong other great things. For this reason, now the programming director of the Microsoft Xbox Live gaming network has been in charge of answering a question that everyone is asking about this great movement of those from Redmond.
When will more details about the purchase of Activision Blizzard by Xbox be revealed?
Larry Hryb, also known as Majorn Nelson, has been in charge of talking about the purchase of Activision Blizzard by Xbox in his podcast, confirming that once everything is finalized, they will be able to express themselves on what the acquisition will change for the two giant American companies.
It’s going to take a while to reveal as many details that people want to know, because as you know, from a monetary point of view, it’s the biggest contract that Microsoft has ever done. […]. It’s a lot of money, and there’s a lot of work to be done to achieve it. And that’s all we can say for now. As you can imagine, there are lawyers and regulators and there are a lot of, I don’t mean hurdles, but there is a lot of work to be done before this is closed. I think that’s a good way to put it.
Once that’s done and the deal is done, I’m sure we’ll have a lot to talk about and have guests on the show. I can’t wait for everyone at Activision and Blizzard to join the Xbox team, because it’s going to be so much fun.
Now we just have to wait for the purchase of Activision Blizzard to become effective in the coming months to find out more details about this acquisition and everything it will bring to the brand in the future.
